Grain Free (good) Gravy

I LOVE biscuits and gravy. Can't have the bisquits anymore, but can have the gravy. I have tried many different ways to make it, and it either came out slimy (using tapioca starch-gross) or lumpy. So I experimented with a roux (melting butter or fat drippings with flour) using my potato flour. It worked great! No more lumps, it tastes great and, most importantly, it actually looks like gravy!

Since each serving will vary, I am estimating here...

1/4 cup. butter or other fat drippings
2-3 Tbsp. potato flour (or until fat is all absorbed)
1-2 cups liquid (milk, chicken/turkey/mushroom/beef stock)
Salt & Pepper to taste

Stir with whip over medium/high until all is blended together and starts to boil. Only cook until the gravy should starts to thicken. If it boils too long it will separate and not be good.
If there is too much liquid, LIGHTLY sprinkle more potato flour over it and whip into gravy. If too thick, just add more liquid. Season with salt & pepper.

If you have lots of people, you will probably have to adjust the quantity. Just have leftovers!

Experiment - but most of all - HAVE FUN!!
